hi guys. i know this is short notice but if you have nothing else to do late this saturday night than tune in to your radio, whether you be driving around town with your spunky night mates, or at home alone with your cask wine, tune into australian youth behemoth triple j at midnight, to hear 60 minutes of my favourite songs on their mix up program.
so to be concise – a 60 minute set from faux pas, between midnight and 1 am, this saturday on triple j. triple j streams online for those of you fortunate enough to be living in what we in australia like to call “the rest of the world”. the set contains 30 songs by other people, 1 old song by me, and 1 new song by me. new song!
when they asked me to put a set together, i decided to attempt something that i’m pretty sure has never been done before. what i did was i started with a song that i like. then i found a second song that i liked. then, and bear with me because this gets confusing, what i did was i took the end of the first song, and the start of the second, and then – through a series of complex manoeuvers that would take far too many diagrams to explain here – i kind of segued (or “mixed”, you might say) from one INTO the other. it was a highly experimental procedure, but what i ended up with was some kind of “transition” between the two songs. i then moved on to a third, then a fourth, and so on. i think this is truly a watershed moment in the history of muzak.
now, i understand that not all people can spare 60 minutes to listen to a mix, let alone from midnight to 1am on a saturday night or, as it were, a sunday morning. thats why i’ve created a special “modern people” edition of my mix, for you modern people out there, as it were, who have not time to spare, as it were. with so many other mp3s demanding your attention on the internat, i’m doing you a favour by condensing this mix from a barely listenable 60 minute faux-dj-set, into a completely unlistenable mess of broken rhythms and textures that runs for less than 7 minutes. thats right – 32-ish songs in 7 minutes. who has time for anything more on this wild ride we call life!

Gosh, you don’t make it easy do you..
How much time am I going to waste trying to decipher those?
At least the Out Hud one was easy.. thanks to the track name length… Air took a surprising amount of time for me to get.
Will the mix be podcast? And where on the triple j site can this mix be found? I don’t want to miss it, as it will be afternoon (during class) on Friday for this States-dweller.
oh man – the ol’ ffwd and dub trick. Hell, Prefuse 73 made a mint from it – why shouldn’t you.
Thanks for giving me the heads up on the mix – it reminded to check your blog – which is funny as all get out.
I’ll make sure i record the show and then run the lot backwards to see if you put any subliminal stuff in there (it can be the “Friday the 13th” mix).
Fast-forward and dub trick? Where?
Awesome mixup lastnight, any chance of putting the full phat version up on the website? Was worth it just to hear “Heard it on the grapevine” played funky organ style.
what’s the tracklist for the roland gift. I canny find it anywhere
too lazy for the anagrams hey?
